Treadmill

Using a treadmill is both efficent and easy to use provided you have been assessed by your Physiotherapist and GP prior to use. A treadmill is the closest thing to walking which is one of the best whole body workouts and probably the most functional exercise you can do.

The advantages of a treadmill over walking are;

There can be rails for added support when required.

There is objective data to use such as speed, angle, time etc.

Weather does not affect your ability to go walking.

There is less or no travel time when using at home – this is particularly important when travelling in a car makes your condition worse (common in lower back pain)
